Hsieh LTE on Federal Debt

By Paul Hsieh from NoodleFood,cross-posted by MetaBlog

The December 20, 2009 Denver Post has printed my LTE on the federal debt. It was written in response to their December 12, 2009 story, "Democrats plan nearly $2 trillion debt-limit hike".

My LTE is 4th on this page:

Congress' plan to cut the deficit by raising the debt limit now, then reducing spending later, is like trying to lose weight by eating a box of chocolate chip cookies now, then promising to exercise next week.

(The Denver Post has a dedicated LTE section called "To The Point" for short LTEs. This one came in at 37 words.)
